About the author

Louis de Potter was a Belgian journalist, revolutionary, politician and writer. Out of the more than 100 books and pamphlets, one of the most notable works was his famous Letter to my Fellow Citizens in which he promoted democracy, universal electoral rights and the unity among Belgian Liberals and Catholics. As the hero of the Belgian Revolution, he proclaimed the independence of Belgium from the Netherlands from the terrace of the Brussels City Hall on 28 September 1830, and inaugurated the first Belgian parliamentary assembly on 10 November 1830, on behalf of the outgoing Belgian provisional government.
